Richard, David and Trevor formed Ascent Employment Law on the promise of helping our clients get to a better place; to rise above and beyond their employment issues. We aim to improve the lives and businesses of those we serve using tailored, practical expertise and advice – this is our singular aim.

We get up in the morning eager to provide you with the best solution to the issue that you are dealing with. Whether you are negotiating new employment terms, trying to reinvigorate your staff to provide their best, manage a workplace conflict or end a difficult employment relationship, we want to help you through it.

With decades of collective experience navigating and litigating employment and human rights issues, we understand today’s business world and the issues that you are facing.

At Ascent Employment Law, we recognize that workplaces work best when employers understand their legal obligations, set and enforce reasonable expectations for employees, and are able to communicate those expectations respectfully and clearly.

These are challenging times for employers. Economic pressures continue to have an effect on supply chains and labour forces. Thus, many employees are reconsidering what they value in an employer. Many are changing jobs or careers entirely. 

But, one thing remains constant – employers who treat their employees with fairness and respect are the ones that will weather the storm.
